Slow Sunday Stitching Joy

What do you need from your stitching time today?

I had a frustrated sewing week with trying to attach some very challenging seminole borders on a large quilt. So today, I need something fun and easy to stitch. No math to figure out, nothing to match up, no decisions to make - just fun stitching. So I plan to pick up some pumpkin seed blocks that I had already prepared. These blocks are cut at 4", so when 4 are sewn together they will finish at 7" in the quilt.

Here is the what the block collection looked like last month. In November I have been working on finishing some orange and blue blocks to add in.

I just love this little block with the snail background fabric... very fun! I'll finish this one today and applique a few more happy blue blocks.

May your slow stitching bring you much JOY and soothing medicine today.And if you would enjoy having company while you stitch, Bonnie Hunter is hosting QuiltCam at 2pm - click here to join in.Link up your hand stitching blog post below and share your project with us.

I love your "pumpkin seeds" I always called that quilt pattern Joseph's Coat - I love how bright your colors are it looks like it is easier to applique the pieces to squares then to hand piece the whole thing like I did.

You are making great progress and it looks lovely! Have to agree with you on the cute snail fabric. I'm looking forward to visiting all the other slow stitchers. Thank you so much for making it possible!
